[Popcon-developers] [Debian RT] popcon broken: bellini NFS link for /srv/ftp.debian.org/ftp unreliable

[Bill Allombert]

Dear Debian system admins,

Since the 16th of March, the popcon cron job cannot complete because it cannot
access the Packages.gz files below /org/ftp.debian.org/ftp.
On bellini.debian.org, this directory is NFS mounted.
This cronjob is run as the popcon user, and it seems there are permission issues
that prevent the popcon user to access the NFS share.

For example running ls as the ballombe user work:
bellini% ls /org/ftp.debian.org/ftp
dists  indices   ls-lR.patch.gz  project  README.CD-manufacture  README.mirrors.html  tools
doc    ls-lR.gz  pool            README   README.html            README.mirrors.txt
but it fails when running as the popcon user:
bellini% sudo -u popcon ls /org/ftp.debian.org/ftp
<hang>

As the result the popcon report cannot be computed and the popcon.debian.org website 
cannot be updated.

Cheers,
-- 
Bill. <ballombe at debian.org>

Imagine a large red swirl here.
